The three proposals of bank were launched through 2012.

The installation of the benchmarks, and its presentation coincided with the public art exhibit created by the Belgian designer Sebastien Wierinck. Banks are manufactured with stainless steel tubes bent.
The forms are computer generated from the variation of profiles along the surfaces of a given axis (looped, 'S' or as 'X') by the known software, Morphing.
 

These "functional sculptures" are intended to act as satellites of landmark buildings in the surrounding places, so as to generate attractions, meeting areas, so that the act of sitting will be an element of attraction.
